colinmgzt Posted January 27, 2008 Report Posted January 27, 2008 got this a couple of months ago, its a class act both in style and design, the bracelet must be the most comfortable steel bracelet out there hope these pics help, not the best cause i`m in a rush atm cheers
musicale Posted January 27, 2008 Report Posted January 27, 2008 Nice. I didn't realise the mesh band was in links / segments.
colinmgzt Posted January 27, 2008 Report Posted January 27, 2008 Nice. I didn't realise the mesh band was in links / segments. only for 4 links from the clasp to allow for sizing, rest is flexible mesh. no wories about strands of wire poking out or anything like that, very well constructed. easy to adjust. one screw only on the 3 0`clock side, remove link and reinsert screw, brilliant!
vmena Posted January 27, 2008 Report Posted January 27, 2008 I don't like this band at all... not for a sporty watch...
Seadweller4000 Posted January 27, 2008 Report Posted January 27, 2008 It reminds me somehow of the old doxa-bracelets and the 1960/70 divers... Therefore I like it!
Seadweller4000 Posted January 27, 2008 Report Posted January 27, 2008 A bit of Omega on that bracelet too... Sweeeet! As I said, I LOVE those vintage divers! Look always beautiful, maybe that's why I like the Heritage so much!
chris5264 Posted January 27, 2008 Report Posted January 27, 2008 I'm planning on doing a review on this one but it will probably focus on the overall quality and not so much if it matches the gen. I'm not sure why, I haven't picked up a rep in a long time but this one did it for me,,so we'll see.
buckeye Posted January 27, 2008 Report Posted January 27, 2008 Chris: Same for me..the last watch I bought was your Corum Admiral's Cup...which is still going/looking great. I'm going to wait for your review (and maybe any indication that you're getting tired of it!)....BTW, I have a 24/20 black rubber diver's strap I'll lend you if you're interested.... Are you as cold as me? Jeff
Seadweller4000 Posted January 28, 2008 Report Posted January 28, 2008 Okay, I placed my order. Will make a large review as soon as it gets here... Then we will know more.
coolfire Posted January 29, 2008 Report Posted January 29, 2008 Okay, I placed my order. Will make a large review as soon as it gets here... Then we will know more. Great! I always look forward to your reviews, mate...
Willith Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 I think lots here will greatly appreciate if you could post pics of your gen, mate... Here are a couple, I suck at taking pictures, so they probably will hurt more than help. I already gave some pictures to another member, so he could use them in his review.
Watchmeister Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 Willith- That is one beautiful watch. Wear it well.
coolfire Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 Utterly speechless, Willith... Appreciate your lightning response... What a beauty!
Willith Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 Thanks for the nice comments. It's a really nice watch, I don't see me selling this one off any time soon.
casanile Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 That's the one I was waiting for. I'm sure that most of the Breitling fans don't like it. Too simple, too submariner but a big sub... I like it with the rubber band. I'm ready to pull the trigger... Damn... I would never have found this site, now I am sure that I'm really an addict....
silix Posted January 31, 2008 Report Posted January 31, 2008 As I promised, I go tthe genuine Heritag efrom the watchmaker, after I promised him that I would not scratch or dent his watch. I took some pics with the gen side by side with the rep. To me, the biggest difference is the datefont, especially 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Other differences are small, not that visible. And to my suprise, the color is almost spot on, most of us, including, before seeing the gen, thought the brwon was way off. But now the fact is here. I will pass on my findings and opinions I got from here to the watchmaker, and hope he will make some improvements on his later batches.
alt.watch.obsessive Posted January 31, 2008 Report Posted January 31, 2008 Yea, that rep sucks. Wait for the real one.
Watchmeister Posted January 31, 2008 Report Posted January 31, 2008 J- Thanks so much for posting this. Pictures speak a thousand words.

I will pass on my findings and opinions I got from here to the watchmaker, and hope he will make some improvements on his later batches. Thanks for the pictures! Looks like the watchmaker has done good work. The crown seems to be well replicated. Interesting style, a nice break from the usual sport diver watches!
andreww Posted January 31, 2008 Report Posted January 31, 2008 Not bad, aside from the date font the size of the "SuperOcean" and "Automatic" seem a little off. On the gen the "P" in SuperOcean touches the "A" in Automatic. On the rep the "P" touches the "U". Minor stuff, and a good first effort!
FxrAndy Posted January 31, 2008 Report Posted January 31, 2008 Well Spotted Andreww, still looks a decent copy though, any chance of some interior shots of these Jay?
b16a2 Posted January 31, 2008 Report Posted January 31, 2008 Looks good. Would only be able to tell the rep from the gen when being compared next to the gen. The flaws are pretty minimal!
woody Posted February 1, 2008 Report Posted February 1, 2008 I see both Josh and Andrew are both looking into this post. Do they care to comment?
KB Posted February 1, 2008 Report Posted February 1, 2008 The date font seems different too but again minor stuff. Ken
